?Chapter 1645:


    Ethan’s jaw tensed the moment heid eyes on Josh. He itched to end this once and for all.


    Josh smirked and gave him a slow pat on the shoulder. “Ethan, Father always said brains matter most. You treat your head like it’s just for show. So tell me—who’s that on?”


    Ethan nearly lost control.


    Josh said tly, “I’m not wasting time arguing. I’m here to meet with Dani.” His eyes skimmed over the rest of the McCoys and stopped on her. He greeted her casually.


    Dani gave a quick nod and walked right past him. “Skip the chitchat. Let’s head to my office.”


    He stood there awkwardly, his hand stuck out for a handshake that never came. Hamilton couldn’t hold back augh. The sight was too good to resist. In the same cool tone Dani had used, he said, “Skip the chitchat. Let’s head to her office.”


    Brad trailed right behind.


    Ethan shot a nce at Josh and added, dripping with sarcasm, “Did you catch that? Let’s move!”


    None of them waited for him. They piled into the elevator and went up without a word.


    Josh stood frozen, stunned. He was the one with the most power in the McCoy empire. And yet, there he was—ignored.


    His jaw clenched as he watched them leave. Dani had just embarrassed him in front of everyone.


    He spat on the floor and narrowed his eyes. “Dani! You’ll regret this!”


    Hamilton leaned close, concern flickering in his voice. “Dani, don’t say anythingter. Let me deal with Josh. He’s nned this. He won’t give Ethan’s money back that easily.”


    Brad turned toward Dani, then to Hamilton, thinking it over. Hamilton’s years did carry weight. “Maybe he should handle it.”

    But Ethan shook his head. “And say what? Josh has crushed him for years. It’s only now, thanks to Dani, that he can finally hold his ground. Let her deal with him.”


    Just then, the door swung open.


    Josh strolled in with a sly grin and dropped onto the sofa without a care. “So, what do you want from me? Make it quick. I’ve got fifteen minutes.”


    At his words, Hamilton took a step forward, his eyes flicking to her. He didn’t speak, but the look said it all—he wanted to handle this.


    Nothing in Dani’s posture suggested disagreement. With a slight tilt of her chin, she gestured for Hamilton to proceed. “Go on.”


    A flicker of excitement lit up Hamilton’s face. He couldn’t remember thest time he felt this kind of confidence bubbling up.<fn4763> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FindN0vel</fn4763>


    Determined to show Dani what he was made of, he saw this as his chance to prove that his status in the McCoy family wasn’t just empty talk.


    Directing his attention to Josh, Hamilton didn’t waste time. “Josh, did Ethan give you thirty billion dors?”


    One leg crossed over the other, Josh shot him a smug look. “That’s right. He said it was for investment. Is that a problem for you?”
